The single decimal + prefix number is composed of the 3 lowest bits being the syslog + priority and the higher bits the syslog facility number. + + If no prefix is given, the priority number is the default kernel + log priority and the facility number is set to LOG_USER (1). It + is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the + facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of + the messages can always be reliably determined. + + Accessing the buffer: + Every read() from the opened device node receives one record + of the kernel's printk buffer. + + The first read() directly following an open() always returns + first message in the buffer; there is no kernel-internal + persistent state; many readers can concurrently open the device + and read from it, without affecting other readers. + + Every read() will receive the next available record. If no more + records are available read() will block, or if O_NONBLOCK is + used -EAGAIN returned. + + Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole, + there are never partial messages received by read(). + + In case messages get overwritten in the circular buffer while + the device is kept open, the next read() will return -EPIPE, + and the seek position be updated to the next available record. + Subsequent reads() will return available records again. + + Unlike the classic syslog() interface, the 64 bit record + sequence numbers allow to calculate the amount of lost + messages, in case the buffer gets overwritten. And they allow + to reconnect to the buffer and reconstruct the read position + if needed, without limiting the interface to a single reader. + + The device supports seek with the following parameters: + SEEK_SET, 0 + seek to the first entry in the buffer + SEEK_END, 0 + seek after the last entry in the buffer + SEEK_DATA, 0 + seek after the last record available at the time + the last SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR was issued. + + The output format consists of a prefix carrying the syslog + prefix including priority and facility, the 64 bit message + sequence number and the monotonic timestamp in microseconds. + The values are separated by a ','. Future extensions might + add more comma separated values before the terminating ';'. + Unknown values should be gracefully ignored. + + The human readable text string starts directly after the ';' + and is terminated by a '\n'. Untrusted values derived from + hardware or other facilities are printed, therefore + all non-printable characters in the log message are escaped + by "\x00" C-style hex encoding. + + A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding + key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine + readable context of the message, for reliable processing in + userspace. + + Example: + 7,160,424069;pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0cf7] (ignored) + SUBSYSTEM=acpi + DEVICE=+acpi:PNP0A03:00 + 6,339,5140900;NET: Registered protocol family 10 + 30,340,5690716;udevd[80]: starting version 181 + + The DEVICE= key uniquely identifies devices the following way: + b12:8 - block dev_t + c127:3 - char dev_t + n8 - netdev ifindex + +sound:card0 - subsystem:devname + +Users: dmesg(1), userspace kernel log consumers diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-extcon b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-extcon new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..20ab361bd8c6 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-extcon @@ -0,0 +1,97 @@ +What: /sys/class/extcon/.../ +Date: February 2012 +Contact: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com> +Description: + Provide a place in sysfs for the extcon objects. + This allows accessing extcon specific variables. + The name of extcon object denoted as ... is the name given + with extcon_dev_register. + + One extcon device denotes a single external connector + port.

Multistate (no more magic numbers in state value) + Extcon's extended features for switch device drivers with + complex features usually required magic numbers in state + value of switch_dev. With extcon, such magic numbers that + support multiple cables ( + + 1. Define cable names at edev->supported_cable. + 2. (Recommended) remove print_state callback. + 3. Use extcon_get_cable_state_(edev, index) or + extcon_get_cable_state(edev, cable_name) instead of + extcon_get_state(edev) if you intend to get a state of a specific + cable. Same for set_state. This way, you can remove the usage of + magic numbers in state value. + 4. Use extcon_update_state() if you are updating specific bits of + the state value. + +Example: a switch device driver w/ magic numbers for two cables. + "0x00": no cables connected. + "0x01": cable 1 connected + "0x02": cable 2 connected + "0x03": cable 1 and 2 connected + 1. edev->supported_cable = {"1", "2", NULL}; + 2. edev->print_state = NULL; + 3. extcon_get_cable_state_(edev, 0) shows cable 1's state. + extcon_get_cable_state(edev, "1") shows cable 1's state. + extcon_set_cable_state_(edev, 1) sets cable 2's state. + extcon_set_cable_state(edev, "2") sets cable 2's state + 4. extcon_update_state(edev, 0x01, 0) sets the least bit's 0. + +****** STEP 3. Notify other device drivers + + You can notify others of the cable attach/detach events with +notifier chains. + + At the side of other device drivers (the extcon device itself +does not need to get notified of its own events), there are two +methods to register notifier_block for cable events: +(a) for a specific cable or (b) for every cable. + + (a) extcon_register_interest(obj, extcon_name, cable_name, nb) + Example: want to get news of "MAX8997_MUIC"'s "USB" cable + + obj = kzalloc(sizeof(struct extcon_specific_cable_nb), + GFP_KERNEL); + nb->notifier_call = the_callback_to_handle_usb; + + extcon_register_intereset(obj, "MAX8997_MUIC", "USB", nb); + + (b) extcon_register_notifier(edev, nb) + Call nb for any changes in edev. + + Please note that in order to properly behave with method (a), +the extcon device driver should support multistate feature (STEP 2). + +****** STEP 4. Inter-cable relation (mutually exclusive) + + You can provide inter-cable mutually exclusiveness information +for an extcon device. When cables A and B are declared to be mutually +exclusive, the two cables cannot be in ATTACHED state simulteneously. + + +/***************************************************************** + * CHAPTER 2. * + * PORTING USERSPACE w/ SWITCH CLASS DEVICE SUPPORT * + *****************************************************************/ + +****** ABI Location + + If "CONFIG_ANDROID" is enabled and "CONFIG_ANDROID_SWITCH" is +disabled, /sys/class/switch/* are created as symbolic links to +/sys/class/extcon/*.
